I just built the same model (actually I haven't finished it and probably won't since I screwed it up so badly) and wondered about that to. I think what they mean on those is to paint them gunmetal and then put flat-black highlights on them to simulate exhaust stain. I think it would be better to paint them gunmetal, then shoot them with dullcoat, and put flat black and a touch of rust highlights on them.

Question about "color over color" instruction.
Posted by kealii21 on Sunday, February 15, 2004 6:42 AM
I'm working on a Monorgram ProModeler F4U-5N Corsair (my 2nd model since starting modeling again after a 40 year hiatus), and in the Engine Assembly instructions there is note to paint the exhaust stubs "Flat Black over Gunmetal".
Do they really mean to paint the exhaust stubs Gunmetal, and to then cover that with Flat Black? What would be the point? The other possibility it to paint the top one Flat Black and the bottom one Gunmetal (they are dual exhaust stubs), but then what do you color the rest of the part. Can someone please explain what you think this instruction means. Thanks for your help.
